The Vision:

Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision And ma

ke it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. – Habakkuk 2:2-3

We are an incorporation of born-again believers commissioned to carry out the will of God in the earth… What is the will of God? For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4

The Vision/The Name …who desires all men to be saved
Salvation comes only through the Name of Jesus… Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

The Vision/The Word …and to come to the knowledge of the truth. The entirety of Your word is truth… Psalms 119:160
Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. John 17:17

Spiritual maturity requires more than occasional inspiration. It requires spaces where the heart becomes honest before God. Spaces where performance ends. Spaces where distractions lose their grip. Spaces where prayer becomes more than rushed words spoken between obligations. Real transformation often begins when a person finally sits long enough for God to uncover what exhaustion, busyness, and avoidance have been hiding!

God never called us to be managed by public opinion. He called us to be faithful...

John the Baptist lost followers for telling the truth.
Daniel got thrown into a lion’s den for refusing compromise.
Jesus was praised by crowds one week and crucified by them the next.

If your greatest fear is disappointing people, you will eventually disappoint God trying to keep everybody comfortable!

People can cry during worship and still refuse to forgive someone on Monday. People can receive prophetic words and still remain arrogant, dishonest, prideful, or cruel in private. People can know Scripture deeply while treating others with very little grace. An encounter can reveal God’s presence, but only surrender transforms character!

Not hidden. Not whispered. Not treated like a backup plan after everything else fails... Pray boldly. Worship boldly. Trust boldly.

There is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain!

Congratulations to our Senior Pastor, Eric V. Jefferson on his upcoming elevation to Suffragan Bishop in the Jamaica District Council of the Pentecostal Assemblies of The World. May God continue to strengthen your hands, enlarge your territory, and use you mightily for His glory. We are grateful to witness this new chapter and stand rejoicing with you. May this elevation be only the beginning of even greater impact for the Kingdom of God!

Details for the elevation service in late June are forthcoming.

And the hardest part is this: compromise usually looks practical in the moment...

Maybe you are trying to hold your marriage together while bitterness keeps offering easier reactions. Maybe you are trying to stay financially honest while anxiety keeps whispering that survival matters more than integrity. Maybe you are trying to follow Christ in an environment where obedience makes you feel isolated or overlooked. That tension can wear a person down spiritually.

But Scripture never promises that faithfulness will always feel convenient. Proverbs says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” That means there will be moments when obedience does not immediately make sense emotionally, financially, or logically. Yet those are often the very moments where character is being formed deepest!

Today, we honor those who served and sacrificed. ❤️💙
